Chris Hipkins has given a strong indication he is happy to stay on as leader of the Labour Party.

He made the comments as he entered Tuesday morning's caucus meeting. The caucus meeting is the first chance for the Labour MPs to discuss their options going forward into opposition.

Before looking ahead to the future though, the caucus will first farewell 21 of their colleagues who haven't made it back into Parliament.
